I love a mean mean man
He lives uptown
When I want him most
He's not around

[Chorus]
He's a mean mean man
Whoooo! Lordy he's a mean mean man
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can

Oh well, he calls at six
He wants a date at eight
But he's never on time
He's always late

Well, then we go to a dance
He holds me real tight
But then he don't even kiss me goodnight

I-I-I know I'm a fool
To love that man
But I'm a-gonna love him as long as I can

I-I-I know I'm a fool
To love that man
But I'm gonna love him as long as I can

He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can
